Answer:

First, we have to calculate how many years passed: 2015 - 1971 = 44 years.

So n = 44 and 8,5% = 0,085 so r = 1 + 0.085 = 1.085.

The starting population is 294,105 and the formula is:

y = 294,105 * r^n = 294,105 * 1.085^44 =

= 294,105 * 36.21666 = 10,651,502.85 ≈ 10,651,503

Answer: In 2015 there were 10,651,503 females participating in high school sports.

Step-by-step explanation:

nlexa [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = the amount of 12% and y = the amount of 20%, then x + y = 80

Since we need 80 grams of 15%, 80(.15) = 12.

We are given that .12x + .20y = 12.

We can solve the first equation for x or y. Let's do x.

x = 80 - y

.12(80 - y) + .20y = 12

9.6 - .12y + .20y = 12

.08y = 2.4

y = 30

x = 80 - 30 = 50

Answer:

Based on the model, the length of the wall is \frac{9}{8} ft, the width of the wall is \frac{1}{2} ft,  and the height of the wall is \frac{11}{8} ft. The volume of the portion of security wall that  Tim has constructed so far is \frac{99}{128}  cu ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The figure constructed shows a rectangular prism made up of small wooden cubes of length \frac{1}{8}\ ft.

Width of the prism = \frac{1}{2}\ ft.

To find length , height and volume of the figure.

Solution:

From the figure we can conclude that :

Length side of the prism counts 9 cubes.

Thus, length of the prism will be given as :

⇒ \textrm{Length of each cube}\times \textrm{Number of cubes}

⇒ \frac{1}{8}\ ft\times 9

⇒ \frac{9}{8}\ ft  (Answer)

Height side of the prism counts 11 cubes.

Thus, height of the prism will be given as :

⇒ \textrm{Length of each cube}\times \textrm{Number of cubes}

⇒ \frac{1}{8}\ ft\times 11

⇒ \frac{11}{8}\ ft (Answer)

Volume of the prism can be given as :

⇒ Length\times width\times height

⇒ \frac{9}{8}\ ft\times \frac{1}{2}\ ft\times \frac{11}{8}\ ft

⇒ \frac{99}{128}\ ft^3 (Answer)

Differentiate the function<br> Y=(8x^4-x+1)(-x^5+5)
nikklg [1K]
First, multiply the brackets out:

(8x^4 - x + 1)(-x^5 + 5)
= -8x^9 + x^6 - x^5 + 40x^4 - 5x + 5

Then, find f'(x) by multiplying each term by the power, then reducing the power by one:

f'(x) = -72x^8 + 6x^5 - 5x^4 + 160x^3 - 5
